• Local Currency: The currency is the Georgian Lari (GEL). ATMs are widely available in cities, and credit cards are accepted in most establishments.
• Transportation: Public transport (metro, buses, marshrutkas) is efficient and affordable in cities. Taxis are also readily available, but agree on the fare beforehand or use ride-hailing apps.
• Safety: Georgia is generally a safe country for tourists. However, always be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas, and take standard precautions against petty crime.

• Can I extend my Georgian e-Visa while in Georgia?

  Generally, short-term visas, including the e-Visa, are non-extendable. If you wish to stay longer, you typically need to depart Georgia and re-apply, or apply for a different visa category at a Georgian diplomatic mission abroad if eligible.

• Can I work in Georgia with a tourist e-Visa?

  No, a tourist e-Visa is strictly for tourism and recreational purposes. It does not permit employment or any form of paid work in Georgia.

• What should I do if my e-Visa application is rejected?

  If your e-Visa application is rejected, you may be able to re-apply, ensuring all information and documents are correct and complete. Alternatively, you might need to apply for a visa at a Georgian Embassy or Consulate in India or a neighboring country.

• Is travel insurance mandatory for the Georgian e-Visa?

• My passport expires in 5 months - can I still apply for a Georgian e-Visa?

  Indian citizens applying for a Georgian e-Visa must ensure their passport is valid for at least six months beyond their intended period of stay in Georgia. If your passport has less than six months validity, you should renew it before applying for the e-Visa. An e-Visa application with insufficient passport validity may be rejected. Please check the official Georgian e-Visa portal for the most current passport validity requirements.

• How much bank balance do I need to show for a Georgian e-Visa as an Indian citizen?

  The Georgian e-Visa application requires applicants to demonstrate sufficient funds to cover their expenses during their stay. While there isn't a universally fixed amount, you typically need to show proof of financial means such as recent bank statements or a letter from your bank. It is advisable to check the official Georgian e-Visa website for the most up-to-date financial requirements and accepted forms of proof. Ensure the documents clearly show your name and the available balance.

• I'm travelling to Georgia next week, is it too late to apply for an e-Visa?

  While the Georgian e-Visa process is generally efficient, it is recommended to apply well in advance of your intended travel date. Processing times can vary, and unforeseen delays may occur. Although some e-Visas are processed quickly, there is no guarantee for urgent applications. Always check the official e-Visa portal for current processing times and apply as soon as your travel plans are firm.

• I am self-employed in India, what documents do I need to show for my Georgian e-Visa application?

These documents help prove your ties to India and your ability to fund your trip. Always refer to the official Georgian e-Visa website for a comprehensive list of required documents for self-employed applicants.

• I am travelling to Georgia with my child, do they need their own e-Visa?

  Yes, every individual, including children, must obtain their own e-Visa to enter Georgia. When travelling with a minor, you will also need to provide additional documents such as the child's birth certificate and, if only one parent is travelling, a notarized consent letter from the non-travelling parent. Ensure all required documents for minors are prepared according to the guidelines on the official Georgian e-Visa portal.

• Do I need a separate visa for Tbilisi, or does this cover all of Georgia?

  You do not need a separate visa for any individual city. Entry rules are set nationally, not city by city, so a Georgia visa is valid for the whole country — including Tbilisi, Kazbegi, Svaneti and Batumi. Apply once for Georgia and you can travel anywhere inside it, up to the permitted length of stay.
